We had a great time at the Boston Music Awards Sunday at the Liberty Hotel – a hotel built inside a former old prison! We were very honored to get our first BMA nomination! We didn’t win, the Blues Artist of the Year went to Johnny A. But we got to share the stage with Peter Parcek 3 (and Peter sat in with us!), Johnny A, and Dwight and Nicole as well as many others that night! I also caught some amazing sets by Amanda Palmer, Debo Band, Sea Monsters, Sodafrog and Mystery Roar. It was a great time, thanks Boston Music Awards, and thank you all out there for your votes!
The rest of the weekend: What a weekend! My weekend started with Lovewhip playing Calling All Angels: A Benefit for Friends of Emilia at TT the Bear’s on Saturday afternoon. It was a great show, great audience, great turnout. I am hoping they raised a lot of funds for the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Beth Israel Hospital in honor of one of our favorite writers from Boston Band Crush (and formerly from Performer) C.D. DiGuardia’s daughter Emilia. (Read a new review he wrote of Wrecking Machine here – just scoll down to Lovewhip).
Then we had our own fundraiser at the Midway in JP, I want to thank everybody that came out and supported us, bought raffle tickets, and danced! Let me say that while it was a bit tiring to play two sets that night – one with my band the Delta Swingers, and one with Lovewhip – it was a really special night and I was so excited to share “both sides” of me with all of you! I want to thank all of the fabulous bands and friends that performed: Streight Angular, Zayde Buti, Jake Zavracky and Sean Revoltah, and special thanks to Czaya for her go-go dancing!
